The 44 day PM pledged to keep it open though.



So the business went on it’s bottom then expected the government to help out?

Sounds like a great business plan. Surprised more companies don’t do it

So I presume someone asked if the airport could be kept open a little later. I’m sure it used to be, if the Amsterdam flight was running late.


Seriously ? Do you realise how many staff would need paying for this to happen

Sorry I asked about planes and airport extended opening. Didn’t realise it was a touchy subject to some.
I’ll back off and sort myself out then.

Government can provide funding assistance to keep it operating. Allowing a northern airport to close hardly fits with the Leveling Up agenda does it?

Yes it was a private company but there was plenty that the government COULD have done. I'm not debating whether or not they should have done, just that the then PM said she would do everything she could to keep it open and didn't.

HUY used to stay open until 2am on a Wednesday night/Thursday morning as it had two Cyprus flights with late departures. They could apply for an extension with only an hours notice given to  the CAA.

Yes there may be additional costs for staff etc, as previously mentioned, but the biggest cost is most likely to be landing fees at Southampton Airport, which they can charge what they want for one-off flights. Ryanair can charge low prices because they strike deals for years with airports who then charge them reduced landing fees etc
